     Do you comment like this all posts here with links? Or only selected according to your top secret and very sophisticated algorithm?

    My algorithm reacts to your pathetic promotion strategy.

    And yes, my comments equal the "sophistication" of the post...

    No, this is "walking machine" 😜 WHat do you think about "energy barrier"? (Yes, there are in game too... 😜 )

     

    A guiltless confession! Let me call the cops, @emkay 🤣

     

    BTW, if you could add the flaming phoenix maneuver, please consider me for a deluxe cart as well... 😎

    Oh, I'm "into" shooters, I'm just can't be into shooters I've never played on systems I don't own (C64) and don't expect vague references to them like "that game" for other systems in an Atari forum. 

    Curiously, I did mentioned the name of this great game in the previous thread about "Last Squadron", as it's not only similar to "Terra Cresta" in music but also in the ground design, bases and some other sprites.

    Not everyone here owns every system under the sun. 

    Neither me, but emulation and YT videos are valuable sources to learn from... 

     

    Anyway, this made me remember when I asked «mariusz» to use his ZX converter to port "Terra Cresta" but told me it couldn't do such "miracle".

    But what is "that game" that you refer too anyway?!? You seem to think what ever you are referring too is widely known enough for people to just automatically know what you are referring too. I've never even seen or played a scrolling shooter with dinosaurs, on any system or arcade and have no clue at all what you are referring too.

    Seems that you are not much into shoot 'em-ups, as *this game* is pretty well-known...

    I've finished that game ~10 times. The first time was by using a modified standard atari joystick with  quick-shot cell fitted on the white plastic stick. I used to leave the music roll until the demo loop . Then by pressing  reset I could enjoy the game while listening to the soundtrack(No sound FX).

    At first I was trying to shoot everything on the screen, but when I read the goal of the game on the tape cover, I understood that it was a "fly through/escape" game and I started avoiding most of the "enemies". Trying to stay alive makes it a much easier game to finish.

    Has anybody been have to reproduce this trick using emulators? I gave it a shot with Altirra, without results.

    Gary Rimmer, the author of the game, commented in this video: "I wish Firebird had done that (keep the music playing) on the original. It ads a lot to the game. I don't know how to do it, but from other posts I've seen it could be done".

    Has anyone managed to score any points in it? My highest score is still zero, although I did manage to stay up in the air and not blow up for about 15 seconds, which I count as a triumph. Perhaps there's a knack...

    In Altirra, 

     

    F2 ... (Start) = fires missile / drops a bomb

    F3 ... (Select) = land / go down

    F4 ... (Option) = take off / go up

     

    Can't figure out how to slow down or speed up the plane.

    Check out my latest offering!

     

     

    The Atari 600XL (with a 1064) was used for many of the sounds here, as well as the visuals. 
     

    a quiz - which POKEY distortion setting did I mostly use? 
     

    that’s an easy question for you guys I reckon. But can you name the A8 drum sequencer I used in the second verse?

     

    I hope I won’t find myself banned for ruthless self promotion 😉 I hope you guys instead appreciate my humble efforts for spreading A8 love here in Finland... where tha ATARI 8 bits were pretty much unknown even back in the day as this was Commodore country then!

     

    I'd be very cool if you could share a photo of the Atari 600XL and the 1064 module. I wonder how you made them contribute to the video - a non technical explanation will be very welcome.

    This menu program is not the same than the 2020 one... it seems that a TRAP is missing just before the INPUT in line 170.

     

    To fix both issues, load the MENU.BAS program, copy the line 175 as 165 and save it again as both MENU.BAS and AUTORUN.BAS (or copy the updated menu to replace the autorun using the DOS).

     

    I could fix the ATR in my site, but it is the official one... Should I?

     

    You MUST, master Vitoco.
